Services and Programs for Cornell Faculty & Staff - The Cornell Store

About The Cornell Store
Founded as a student-run co-op in 1895, The Cornell Store
has evolved into a full-service, University-owned retailer serving
the needs of the entire Cornell community — students, faculty,
staff, and alumni. Today, The Cornell Store ranks among the
largest and most successful independent college stores in the
nation. Many of the innovative business practices we have
developed have been adopted by other college retailers and our
commitment to continuous improvement in our operations
has made us an industry leader.
In addition to our main store on Ho Plaza, we operate
satellite locations at the Statler Hotel and in Sage Hall,
and an online store at store.cornell.edu. We operate as
a department of Cornell Business Services, within the
Division of Financial Affairs (DFA).
We also are a founding member of the Collegiate Retail
Alliance, an innovative business coalition of independent
college stores dedicated to developing and deploying the
industry’s best business practices, to deliver more value to
the universities we serve.
